did some such thing. Now the fact is a
thermometer doesn't give the slightest
information about the amount of heat.
When, during the warm spell just past, we
read 1929, all the knowledge gained was
that a liquid metal mercury had expand
ed to certain extent in a hair-like glass
tube. This gave us a number on an arbl-
trary scale, and we walked off, after read
ing it, covered with perspiration and filled
with satisfaction"
"You don't make your statement clear
that no measure of the heat is given" SAID
the reporter.
"Well, say you have two one-gallon
kettles, both filled with boiling water. The
thermometer marks 212o in each. Now,
pat them together The mixture contains
twice the quantity of, heat that either gal
aon alone contained, and yet the thermom-
'eter does not vary, but still marks 2l2O.
The thermometer only gives us the quail
ity of the heat Glass and mercury ex-
pand unequally by heat, so we de not read
the absolute expansion of the mercurial
column but the difference between its ex-
pansion and that of the glass. If they
expanded equally no movement OF the
mercury would be perceived.
"The sensibility of thermometers varies
greatly. If the capacity of the reservoir
is large, compared with the bore of the
tube, slight change of temperature will
materially affect the hight of the mercu-
rial column. If small, and the glass bulb
is thin, the mercury contained in it will
be more rapidly affected than if larger
amount were 10 be acted upon, A cylin-
drical reservoir is better than a spherical
one, because it exposes larger surface. y

Progress I'm Electricity.

The jubilee of the electric telegraph,
which has recently been celebrated in Eng
land, and the Convention of the National
Electric Light Association in this city, call
attention to the great progress made in the
use Of electricity as well as the need Of adj
vance in its machines. The telegraph has
been carried to such perfection that there
is good reason for congratulation the
electric motor and the electric light have
still to be brought into more satisfactory
development before they can give general
satisfaction. That advance Will be made
in all departments Of electricity, the his
tory of the. telegraph during the last fifty
eminent of Sir Robert Peel first conceived
the idea of utilizing the telegraph
for other than railway purposes,
constituting an important public recogni-
ton of the value of the electric telegraph.
In 1850 the first attempt was made to lay
a submarine telegraph cable, and in 1858
the first Atlantic cable was laid. After
many experiments, a single wire may now
be laid so as to admit of six messages
being. sent in one direction, or one in one
direction and five in another, or any
other combination of six. There are
now about $4,000 miles of subma-
rine telegraphy, or enough cable to 90
around the world five times The achieve
ments of the electric light and the electric
motor have not yet been sufficient for such
universal appreciation, but expectations
are offered by the Electric Association
here in counsel for the lighting of this
world by electric light and the movement
of all great locomotive bodies by the cleo
trio motors.
In the progress of knowledge of electric
ity two great results have been accom-
plished, besides adding to the number of
modern improvements. Science, through
its introduction into industry, has been
promoted throughout the world. Instead
of being considered an abstract subject for
the study of specialists, it has been warmly
welcomed as a means of industrial devel-
opment. A practical use has been found
in the researches of the scientists. An
other great advantage from the indus
trial application of electricity is its
economical use. A new profession for young
men has been found. Although electri-
cal engineering is not classed among the
most lucrative occupations, it insures
a competency and offers a field of in
tense interest for the scientist One of
its best features is its promise of
growth. The English Postmaster-Gen-
eral recently said that "when we look
back on the progress of fifty years in tele-
graphy we shall find in them materials of
a greater hope of the future of humanity
than in almost any other record of any
other period in the history of our race"-

The announcement of the discovery of
more than dozen new elements appears at
first sight rather sensational, and were it
not that the names of Kruss and Nilsson
are sufficient guarantees of its authenticity,
the lntimation would probably be received
with more than little caution. Such,
however, is the startling result of the long
laborious and exceptionally difficult re-
searches of the Swedish chemists upon the
nature of the rare earths contained in sew
eral sparsely distributed minerals, and a
detailed account of their labors will be
found in the number of the Beriehte Just
issued. A precise measurement of the
wave-lengths of the line and bands in the
absorption spectra of the nitrates of the
rare earths contained in the thorite of
Brevig and Arendal, wohlerite of Brevig,
cerite Of Bastnas, fergsonite of Arendal
and Itterby, and euxenite of Arendal and
Hittero, has resulted in the surprising OBJ
servation that only particular few Of the
lines supposed by former observers
to belong to the nitrate of any one metal
are present in the absorption-spectra of the
nitrates derived from certain minerals, the
other lines being absent in these, but pres
ent In the nitrate spectra of other miner
ais, while some that are present in the
former are absent or very faint in the lat
ter. For example, only one of the lines
supposed to belong to the nitrate of hol-
MUM is present in any intensity in the
spectrum of the nitrates from thorite of
Breyig, while in the spectrum of nitrates
derived from other minerals it is but an in
significant line among several holmium
lines much more intense The conclusion
from most exhaustive spectral measure
ments is inevitable, that most of the So
called elements in these minerals are COM
pound substances, the various ingredients
Of which are present in certain minerals
and absent in others further, the fraction
alton of the nitrates has led to partial
separation of large number of the COM
ponents Nature.
